Jodie Whittaker hasn’t looked at another role since Doctor Who
OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Whittaker finds the idea of leaving ‘Doctor Who’ too “upsetting” to think about.
The 38-year-old actress was cast as the Doctor in 2017 and insisted she has never even “looked at” another role since then, and she’d be happy to stay on the show forever.
She said: “I haven’t even looked at another role since the Doctor, apart from doing ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ earlier this year.
“To even question an end point [of ‘Doctor Who’] would be too upsetting.”
While Jodie was “terrified” at the idea of playing the iconic character at first, it grew less daunting when she realised how similar to her real personality the Time Lord is.
She said: “You can tell from talking to me, my personality is this, and not this [pulls sad face].
“So, with ‘Doctor Who’, it was, you want me to be manic? Got that in the bag! You want me to fidget? OK, brill.
“The idea of playing the Doctor, which was terrifying at first, became less terrifying, because, as a person, I’m not that far away.”
Despite her high profile, the former ‘Broadchurch’ star admitted one of her best friends has “no idea” about her career.
She added to Stella magazine: “One of my best mates, Tor, has no idea what I do. It’s hilarious. She’s like, ‘Apparently you were in that,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, it was quite a famous show…’
“It’s good to be reminded that while what you’re doing is the best thing in the world for you, it can’t bleed into everyone else’s life as the best thing about their lives.
“I think, as actors, we can sometimes become a bit confused about how valuable we are.”
